About 25 % of all stroke cases lead to aphasia. Aphasia can include difficulties with speech production and comprehension, as well as reading and writing impairment. Language impairment affects post stroke rehabilitation in a negative manner. Quality of life is reduced in persons with aphasia compared to stroke victims without aphasia. Speech and language therapy is the main form of aphasia rehabilitation. The most updated Cochrane review indicates that intensive speech and language therapy is more effective than therapy of lower intensity. Current aphasia services in Norway do not seem to be in accordance with the national guidelines for treatment and rehabilitation of stroke. The capacity for aphasia rehabilitation at the community level is too small and there is a lack of speech -language pathologists (SLPs). Language training by videoconference could improve this unmet need for language training in post stroke aphasia. The literature within this field is however sparse and there is a substantial lack of studies showing the effectiveness of telerehabilitation. Financed by the Norwegian Foundation for Health and Rehabilitation, the investigators have earlier performed a feasibility study at Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital in cooperation with the Norwegian Centre for Integrated Care and Telemedicine. This feasibility study showed that language training by videoconference is feasible with regard to technical, practical and rehabilitation aspects. The feasibility study laid ground for a larger and controlled study.
